This was taken August of 2008, just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in a wooded area. A forsaken old truck left behind to rust, but time and nature weathered the truck into beautiful decay.

The story behind the truck is not clear, but like so many abandoned vehicles and places there indeed is a story.This truck's story is mundane in scope unlike stories of lost souls (re)tracing footsteps through the empty halls of paint peeled deeply in the shadowed dreams of abandoned asylums.

It is Leaves in the Attics hope that the site and its content will exist on the Internet a long time, long after we are gone. It will take many years to develop all we can about the stories of the abandoned in our societies.

Areas we hope to cover are abandoned places and their people, the undesirables of society, in prisons, asylums, orphanages and contagion hospitals.

Other stories may include ghost towns, whole nations or civilizations, and the stories of the abandoned who called these places home before war or tragedy and environmental devastation took over.

In recent years, many urban exploration sites centralized around urban photographs of abandoned places, which exploded all over the Internet due to a popular reemergence of urban exploration some years ago.

We believe urban exploration is richer than the gathering of images or data about abandoned places, it's also the sharing of the stories about abandoned people and their history.

We care about abandoned places, but also the lives of the abandoned.... follow us...not on twitter, but into the lives of the abandoned ....
